Integrative Wellness + Nutrition

Wellness grows from the inside out. Eating well, movement, lifestyle — the whole mind / body / spirit connection — according to your individual needs are cornerstones of wellness, and shouldn’t feel impossible nor inconsequential. Life is too short to not take care of ourselves, feel good and be happy! The good news is that even small changes can have a tremendous impact.

And we ALL have the capacity to do this — we just need to tap into it. It is a gift in life to have choice when it comes to the foods we eat or paths on which we journey, and we should honor and leverage this opportunity by treating ourselves well and caring for our health as much as we can. This kind of self-care allows you to be your best self not only for yourself, but for those around you as well. Everyone benefits.

While I do believe in a few “universal truths” when it comes to health and well-being, specific needs, preferences, wants and goals vary from person to person. As a Certified Integrative Health Coach and a lifelong student of all things health + nutrition + wellness, I (Sarah) can help you learn how to more easily, effectively and deliciously feel your best. No gimmicks. It often starts with identifying and fueling your body with what it truly craves and needs, including understanding the “whys” of this, and implementing lasting changes in your life that may extend beyond nutrition – improving on other areas of focus we work together to identify.

For more details on specific approaches and services offered (across which there is some overlap), please click on the following:

Feeling and being our best selves requires that we consciously tend to our body, mind and spirit – it’s balance across all three that keep us at our strongest. I look at things from a “wholistic” standpoint, and will encourage and guide you to do so too. Being in better balance means you’re better equipped to process and move through anything life throws your way. And making some small changes that will have a big effect is often much easier and simpler than it may seem, and the benefits to be reaped are invaluable. I do believe in an approach to overall health and wellness that is an integration all of the above — however, not everyone is looking for targeted support across each aspect, so I create individualized plans to fit your unique wants, needs and goals.

I’d love to speak with you further about your individual needs and come up with the best plan for you. Please contact me at Sarah@LetTheGoodIn.com with any questions, if you’re interested in working together or want to learn more about available personal, corporate or brand support offerings.

Check out “25 Foods You’ll Never Eat Again” (via Buzzfeed) – a list of 25 uber-junk foods that are no longer on store shelves… and, pretty much across the board, for good reason that needs no added explanation. It’s worth the read for the nostalgia factor. I’d forgotten about many of these products… from wtf-was-Heinz-thinkingLearn More

In honor of National Kale Day (today, October 2), we broke out our new Omega Nutrition Center 8004 masticating juicer for the first time to make some energizing and delicious juice to start out the day – featuring, of course, kale. I know you know how good “green juice” is for you, but I alsoLearn More

It’s baffling to me that it’s even up for debate whether we as consumers have the right to know what’s in our food and where it comes from. And that’s essentially what’s at the core of this – companies can keep on making GMO food products and the FDA can keep approving them for sale,Learn More

Got apples? ‘Tis certainly the season for them, which happen to be one of my favorite foods (when super fresh and crispy, that is… when an apple crosses into mealy terriroty, it quickly becomes one of my least favorite foods). In September, we were treated to a wonderful meal at our friends’ home to celebrateLearn More

Simple, sweet snickerdoodles. When it comes to desserts, I often find myself coming back to the notion that there’s nothing better than the basics – think your favorite [insert here: e.g., chocolate chip cookie, brownie, apple pie, chocolate cake]. These snickerdoodles are quick to throw together and bake, and yield wonderful results. The whole wheatLearn More

As I wrote in my last post, preparing some of your own food when traveling and staying in hotels is good for both your health and your wallet if you have the means to do so (aka have use of some basic kitchen appliances wherever you are staying). Plus, when in a foreign country, itLearn More

This particular tea (technically a “tisane,” the technical term for ‘tea’ that is only herb-based and doesn’t actually include proper tea leaves) is one of my favorites at the moment to help assuage upper GI distress like heartburn or GERD, general indigestion or a nervous tummy. It’s a specific blend of herbs and roots (sourced[Read More…]

Brushing, flossing* and regular dental cleanings may be the three primary cornerstones of good dental health practices — but there’s more you can do to make your mouth even happier. To improve or maintain a healthy mouth — from fresher breath and healthy oral bacteria to potentially reducing issues like cavities and gingivitis — consider[Read More…]

We are big on throw-it-all-together veggie bowls, using whatever vegetables we have on hand along with beans and/or other proteins, and whole grains. Rather than a specific recipe, use this one as guidance or inspiration to make your own! Included in the bowl pictured here is: a few handfuls of mixed leafy greens with radicchio[Read More…]
